Super Dry Totech is to feature its dry storage solutions for moisture sensitive devices, including vacuum packaging systems and moisture barrier bags at this year’s productronica in Munich. Visitors to Booth A3-277 will find out how Super Dry low humidity desiccant cabinets can protect a wide range of products against defects caused by humidity. Designed to exceed IPC/JEDEC J-Std-033C, Super Dry Cabinets can dehumidify to less than 0.5% RH.

What better place than the Arctic for testing the new generation of solar-powered aircraft? The Autonomous Systems Laboratory ASL has developed a pioneering solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), AtlantikSolar, capable of flying for multiple days. Glaciologists from ETHZurich – who use UAVs to monitor glaciers in Greenland – need further endurance to deal with the immensity of the glacial landscape.

The act of publicly insulting a rival can be an art form unto itself. For example,Dorothy Parker once wrote of Audrey Hepburn's acting: 'Miss Hepburn ran the whole gamut of emotions - from A to B'. Then there's football coach Steve Spurrier, who once said of a rival coach, 'I saw a story saying Jim Haslett comes in at 4:30 every morning. That's not doing him much good'.

Dimitrios Spiliopoulos shares his thoughts on IoT and how it is centred around data, which scares many consumers... "In the past few months I have attended many events, conferences and panels regarding Internet of Things (IoT) subjects, but I have also been discussing the topic with people who are not involved in IoT as professionals.

Licensor of signal processing IP for smarter, connected devices, CEVA, has announced a partnership with LG Electronics to deliver a high-performance, low-cost smart 3D camera solution for consumer electronics and robotic applications.The 3D camera module incorporates a Rockchip RK1608 coprocessor with multiple CEVA-XM4 imaging and vision DSPs, which provide the processing power to perform a wide variety of 3D sensing applications.

The official launch of Robotics Week 2018 has been announced with robotics activities and competitions now open for early registration to schools, academic institutions and industry. The UK Robotics Week programme of activities will be taking place up and down the country from early next year, culminating in a national week of celebration held from 21st–29th June 2018. Now in its third successive year, UK Robotics Week continues to go from ...

Back in 2012, we were introduced to the Nike+ FuelBand, which proved to have the appeal of wrist‑based activity tracking, and now ever since the category has exploded.Nowadays, a whole industry has emerged around this market, led by brands like Fitbit and Xiaomi. Whereas early fitness trackers could get by on simple activity monitoring using a basic accelerometer, nowadays the market is much more competitive.

Driving education is important, however the ultimate safety resolution will be the day when technology begins to save us… from ourselves. Guest blog by Marques McCammon, General Manager, Connected Vehicle Solutions at Wind River and Alex Epstein, Senior Director of Digital Strategy at the National Safety Council.

A 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor equipment that measures distance between the equipment and the object from the round-trip travelling time of the pulse laser that is projected to the object has been developed by Panasonic. The sensor accurately measures the direction of and distance to objects with a wide angle of view, which is critical for autonomous operation of mobile robots.

When you think down to the core, sensors have become the backbone of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.With smart homes, smart grid, intelligent transportation, and even smart healthcare; this is just naming a few basic infrastructures that are crucial ingredients for the ‘connected world’ recipe.The increasing penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) across various sectors helps boost the growth of the sensor market.
